the answer is Powerful leaders and political institutions emerged when large numbers of people were organized to operate successful irrigation systems.

When people operate successful irrigation systems, the agricultural sectors will definitely produce more goods compared to other civilizations that don't. This eventually lead to stronger economic development in that civilization that creates the need for stronger government to regulate it.
